Gary Grape, the leader of the group, knows something special is happening in Sugartown and wants the Lollipop Tots to be part of it. Gary Grape comes up with an idea for the town's first annual festival, a parade! The competition is heavy with the Leather Lads' pony rides and the mean and bullish Cotton Kids' wagon race. The kids from Sugartown prepare for the festival as they try to teach the bullies about kindness and friendship. The race is on to win the big prize, a trip to Willie's Wonder World, the largest amusement park on earth!
